1 on 1: BJJ, the ground fighting is basically just a more complete version of Judo.

Streetfights (which are rarely 1on1): Judo because you can throw your opponent down and stay standing and therefore avoid getting stomped on by the guys friends while laying around in your guard like BJJ guys like to do.

And since everyone who does BJJ seems to do BJJ/MT you could be all different and do Boxing/Judo to compensate. Both are typically cheap too. And you wouldn't have any of that crappy acronym **** either.

Japanses Ju Jitsu schools are fine except alot of them do not do much sparring.

For street self defense situations I'd still say Judo is a better choice that BJJ. Judo covers throws and takedows so much more than BJJ. If you lift somone and dump them hard on concrete, you won't need to armbar them, or worry about gaining good position trust me.
